Adaptive filter and method of operating an adaptive filter

Abstract

The present application relates to an adaptive filter using resource sharing and a method of operating the adaptive filter. The filter comprises at least one computational block, a monitoring block and an offset calculation block. The computational block is configured for adjusting a filter coefficient, ci(n), in an iterative procedure according to an adaptive convergence algorithm. The monitoring block is configured for monitoring the development of the determined filter coefficient, ci(n), during the performing of the iterative procedure. The offset calculation block is configured for determining an offset, Offi, based on a monitored change of the filter coefficient, ci(n), each first time period, T1, and for outputting the determined offset, Offi, to the computational block if the determined filter coefficient, ci(n), has not reached the steady state. The computational block is configured to accept the determined offset, Offi, and to inject the determined offset, Offi, into the iterative procedure.
